It's greying men's gallery
ISLAMABAD. Feb 16 (AFP) : If you can't do, so the saying goes, you teach. At the cricket World Cup. it seems, if you can no longer play, you commentate.
The tournament is awash with former legends-turned-pundits. They used to. wear boxes, now they sit in them, microphone or quill in hand while sermonising a younger generation.
Not all. of course, are natural Journalists— some, indeed. are as wooden on camera as the oak they used to wield — but most talks as good a game as they ever played.
All of them knew a thing or two about the game, the grey hairs matched by cricketing grey cells.
Put them on a crash diet, kick them Into shape with a few route marches and they'd make the finest 13th team the World Cup could have hoped for.
Naming the captain would be tricky, though.
Ian Botham. Bob Willis. Tony Greig, David Gower and Tony Lewis; all former England skippers now playing the part of television luminaries. would be candidates.
So would Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar of India, the first man past the magic 10.000 Test runs barrier. Both are regular contributors to the Indian Express newspaper. with Gavaskar doubling up on the small screen. Ian Chappell and- RicMe Be-naud of Australia, too. would stake their claim.
On balance, perhaps, the job should go to Benaud. Principally a leg-spin bowler, he inspired Australia to two Ashes wins and to series victories ovtr Pakistan and the West Indies in the late fifties
and sixties.
His professionalism on the Vitch. which earned him 248 est wickets and over 2.000 runs as a useful lower-order batsman, has been matched by his "position as the doyen of player-commentators.
Botham. OBE. had one controversial brush too many with authority to be considered for this particular captaincy. as did Chappell and Greig — whose commentary catch phrases include such classics as "good night." to greet a dismissal and "he's dropped a Lollypop" to echo a missed chance.
The latter two were both tarred by their association with Kerry Packer's rebel World Series circus in the late seventies, while Chappell. whose brothers Greg and Trevor also played at Test level, also has the dubious honour of getting into trouble for swearing... both as a player and commentator. , s "
Kapil, Dev Would join Botham — who will ever forget his undefeated Headlngly 149 that hauled England from follow.-on to victory over Australia in 1981 — in the engine room of the side, the Indian bringing loaded down
him a world record 434 Test wickets.
Just three victims more, incidentally, than were claimed by New Zealand great Richard Hadlee ... working here, inevitably, as a writer for the Delhi-based outlook magazine.
Throw in television sum-marisers Michael Holding, the graceful West Indian strike bowler they called "whispering death", and Ravi Shastri, the Indian left-arm spinner, as well as Pakistan’s Asif Iqbal and Zaheer Abbass. a columnist with the News Daily, and you have the makings of a pretty useful outfit.
Finally. Farokh Engineer, now a television anchor man, would keep wicket. The idea of a commentator returning to the pitch is. naturally, pure fantasy.
Or is it?
In 1988, New Zealand's touring party to India had reachfid Bangalore for the first Test when a mystery virus cut down six players. K The situation became desperate ... and out of the commentators box came 'tumbling former captain Jeremy.
Coney to put in a stint of substitute fielding.
